Hee! I made a couple of Regenesis icons for myself. I've looked about and, at least on LJ, there appears to be no fandom for this funky show. Pity. Anyway, I love it, so I made my own icons.

Regenesis is a Canadian TV show set in Toronto.
The future is here. Bioterrorism. Designer babies. Frankenfoods. Suddenly Humanity possesses the ability to play god. But is it progress—or madness? Will cutting-edge science be our salvation? Or our demise?

ReGenesis is a new dramatic series about NorBAC, an organization formed to investigate questionable advances in biotechnology.

The Pandora's box of biotech is wide open. It's a modern gold rush, where billions will be made and geo-power will be staked. And everyone's involved: governments, multinational drug companies, rogue states, and terrorist. But ideas can't be put back in—once they're out, they're out.


The icon is of Dr David Sandstrom. He's the head of the lab at NorBAC and so fucking flawed that he's just endeared himself to me. Plus he hates to talk down to the non-science types. :p

In the scene in the icon, he's actually explaining viral replication to a woman he's a tad annoyed with. Teehee! I just love this show. Much of the love is to do with the fact that I work in a lab and the lab-speak dialogue in the show is obviously written by someone who works in a lab. They don't talk down to each other like they do in other shows (the exposition is always when someone non-sciency needs it explained) and they have cool little scene changes that sort of give an impression of time passing.

Anyway [/squee]
I have 2 new icons. *grins*

I've actually written to the scientific advisor of the show (Prof. Aled Edwards from Univeristy of Toronto), and he answered my question I had. :-) Most everyone I've approached about the show has been really nice.

I've added you back, so now you can see my f-locked stuff if you're so inclined. I started f-locking anything that's remotely personal because there was this guy from our Chris Marquette message board who kept "stalking" me. It's kind of a long story, but I became a little paranoid there for a while.

You like Sherlock too, right? And I couldn't help but notice your Cumberbatch header. I only got into Sherlock recently. A good friend of mine recommended it, and so I finally caved and watched it. And never regretted it. I'm not that deeply involved in the fandom, but I do watch one of the comms for fanfic and occasionally check the Tumblr tag. However, it's not easy being a gen gal in a fandom that's an estimated 95% slashers. *sigh*

I'm mostly into gen, but don't mind slash if it's well-written and has a plot. :P

Being solely into gen can be tough in a lot of fandoms, but there is always a gen cohort, you just have ta find 'em.

But yes, I do love Sherlock. Haven't really written much in the fandom, just a random crossover, but I have had some fun with vidding it. :)

I do a similar thing re: flocking personal posts. It just makes sense to me.

Welcome to the madhouse. Thanks for letting me into yours. Leave any time, as I won't be offended. :)
